Former IRS Examiner, Three Other Escambia Residents Indicted For Mail Fraud
February 21, 2015
Four Escambia County residents, including a former IRS tax examiner, have been indicted for conspiring to file false claims for payment in connection with the 2010 BP oil spill.
Rosa M. Bonner, 52, Ariyanna S. Lampley, 33, Jimmie A. McCorvey, 41, and Marcia D. McCorvey, 42, are charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud for filing false claims with the Gulf Coast Claims Facility (“GCCF”) alleging lost income as a result of the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The indictment alleges that between 2010 and 2012, the defendants agreed to have McCorvey file false GCCF claims in their names. Lampley is also alleged to have provided McCorvey with additional identities for filing false GCCF claims. The indictment alleges that as a result of these false claims, GCCF paid $95,200 to the defendants.
McCorvey, who was an IRS employee at the time, is also charged with conspiring to file false tax returns. The indictment alleges that between 2009 and 2011, McCorvey prepared and filed approximately 25 fraudulent federal income tax returns, resulting in the issuance of more than $62,000 in tax refund checks. The indictment further charges McCorvey with aggravated identity theft for fraudulently using other people’s identities in both schemes.
Trial in this case is currently set for April 6, 2015, before Senior United States District Court Judge Roger Vinson. This case resulted from investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation Division.

People don’t like putting nonviolent criminals in jail or prison, but some nonviolent crimes kill by taking away the means of living, robbing the elderly, the government, whoever.
Further, they will continue to hurt people as long as they are free to do so.
Not talking about these particular people; they may be perfectly innocent, just talking about that type of crime in general.
David for better people
